I am interested to hear from anyone who knows of research into the 
relationship (empirical, not necessarily causal) between the study of highly 
abstract subjects like philosophy and mathematics, and the general academic 
performance of the student/s in question.  I know of one study which found a 
close link between study of phil or math, and dramatically above average 
performance in all other areas.  This study did not have any control groups
(from say high school level) to see if any causal link was suggested, which 
is my area of most intense curiosity at present.  Either follow on the net
(if this is the correct group, otherwise sorry for any offence) of email.

Thanks,
